On Saturday, April 4, Archbishop Weisenburger led the Archdiocese of Detroit in the solemn celebration of Christ's victory of sin and death during the Easter Vigil in the holy night at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit. The most solemn liturgy of the Church's year, the Mass began in darkness, illuminated only by the Easter fire, and ended with the joyous celebration of the Eucharist, complete with new Catholics welcomed into the Church via baptism and confirmation.
